Portrait of Death - Book #1
​​
On a busy Chicago afternoon, the stately calm of Lake Shore Park is shattered with murder and death. A group of cult-like followers has descended on the city of Chicago, and have begun their murder spree by picking out targets to kill, painting portraits of their death, and collecting each portrait to achieve their ultimate goal. Through the quick actions of the FBI, they’ve already begun their hunt for the killer.
While the FBI struggle and argue over how to figure out what this cult is after, one man is brought in to break the case because of his romantic involvement with serial killer Mona Pruitt. Nathan Pearson, a former Chicago detective, visits Mona at the mental hospital and soon discovers they are both the targets of this cult. Moving quickly through the case, getting terrifyingly close to the enemy, Nathan scrambles to save innocent lives before the cult can finish off everyone on their hit list. In a race against time, Nathan makes a chilling discovery that could put everyone in Chicago at risk and someone from his past is maneuvering in hopes that Nathan will fail.
Nathan Pearson will use any force necessary to stop the people of Chicago from falling victim to this deadly cult and their twisted motivation.
Portrait of Pain - Book #2
When conventional methods fail and standard protocol is inappropriate, one agent sometimes takes a different approach… Nathan Pearson has been given valuable Intel on the whereabouts of notorious serial killer Mona Pruitt: He has to prove himself to another vicious serial killer. But when the mission takes an unexpected turn, Nathan soon learns of two new serial killers who will stop at nothing to bring down Mona Pruitt.
FBI director Brent Mitchell has officially made Nathan one of his agents. But someone out there will resort to extreme measures to make sure Brent Mitchell does not stay in power. But no one counted on Nathan Pearson’s return… or how far he will go to bring everyone to justice.
With three serial killers on the loose, this only causes more death, more blood, more twists, and more surprises. The end result is devastating and no one is safe.
